Originally 'The
Lucas & Birmingham Settlement Chess Club' and 'The West Midlands Municipal Chess
Club'. The two clubs merged in 2003 to form the Birmingham Settlement
Chess Club. The Birmingham Settlement building that was used for a club room
closed and so they moved to St George's Church. They have teams in the
Birmingham and Wolverhampton Leagues. The club caters for all standards
from complete beginners to - well maybe not grand masters although they are as
welcome as anyone else.

We meet
throughout the year except for bank holidays and new
members are welcome.Full membership details are available from the
secretary. There are provisions for visitors to our city who require a place to play
on a temporary basis.
